Deliciously Heretical!,
By Queen of Cups (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barabbas: A Dream of the World's Tragedy (Paperback)
This revision fantasy of the Crucifixion so alarmed her publisher that he refused to publish it saying "I fear the effect on the public mind!" Undaunted, Marie takes the book to a new publisher and Barabbas became one of her first international successes. It is the first book in a trilogy by Corelli where she reformed the whole history of Christianity and the devil to suit her own phantasmagorical faith. All three books contain elements of cynicism, brutality, and heresy wrapped inside a blanket of uplifting, often sentimental theosophic theories of the soul. Quite a dish to be served in Victorian times! I say Kudos, Marie! You really did listen to the beat of a different drummer and what a delight it is to revel in your rhythms!!
